Language Studies (W41)

Course summary

This diploma will equip you to communicate in different languages; develop your cultural understanding; and explore the structure and use of language in different contexts. Starting with a broad grounding in the study of language, you’ll study two modern languages – from French, German and Spanish – or combine one of them with English. By the end of your studies, you’ll be able to engage successfully in a variety of linguistic environments – opening doors to other cultures and communities, and to exciting career opportunities. Key features of the course

  • Develops you into an independent user (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages level B2) of at least one modern language
  • Develops knowledge of the cultures that use your chosen languages
  • Extends your competence in intercultural communication
  • Allows you to understand how language is structured and used in different contexts

Modules

This qualification has two stages, each comprising two modules. You’ll choose to either combine English language studies with a modern language (French, German or Spanish) or combine two of these modern languages. You may study the modules in your chosen subject one stage at a time or study the modules in one subject before studying the modules in your second subject. What modules you choose at Stage 1 will depend on your current modern language proficiency. In Stage 2, you’ll continue with your chosen subject combination.
